Use modern scientific foundations and Bible based wisdom to align your life with the Law of Attraction as do the Master Attractors. What is common to evangelist Billy Graham and to world champion Roger Bannister who broke the four minute mile barrier? They benefit from the Law of Attraction! The Law of Attraction is a mindset known over two thousand years ago to the authors of the Bible. Modern scientific fields from neuro-biology, neuro-psychology and social studies identified the foundations and mechanisms of action of the pervasive Law of Attraction. From rulers and prophets to contemporary inventors, politicians, physicians, and evangelists to modern thought-leaders they all use the framework of the Law of Attraction. They align their life and activities with the Law of Attraction and manifest their objectives. You can also align yourself with this ancient wisdom and manifest what you wish out of life. Like King Solomon you can be a Master Attractor that attracts health and longevity, acquires knowledge and invents technologies, wins a political office, manifests wealth and real-estate, and grows your family dynasty. In "The Master Attractor, " Mandy Lender MD, illustrates step-by-step how to align yourself with the mindset of the Law of Attraction and manifest your life mission. Dr. Lender researched scientific literature and identified the biologic foundations of the Law of Attraction as it is observed in the work of renowned contemporary physicians, politicians, evangelists and world sports champions. The universal Law of Attraction rewards every human being who lives in alignment with its Key Concepts.

INTRODUCTION

The Law of Attraction is a mindset. With this mindset you can literally watch how your thoughts turn into reality. In order to align yourself with the mindset of the Law of Attraction (LOA) you need to assimilate its framework and its Key Concepts. The LOA is universal. It prevails over our lives whether we are aware of it or not. The LOA is pervasive and is not subject to our consent. It just is.

Veronica is the dental hygienist who helps me keep my teeth in good shape. She helps me attract health (and wealth). Veronica asked me while I was seated on her dental chair, “What is your book all about?”

I paused for a moment, mostly because I could not close my mouth to speak. Then I answered, “My book is about the intersection of neuro-science, social psychology, and old-time Biblical wisdom.”

Note I did not simply say that my book is about the Law of Attraction. Actually, I should have said the book is about “turning your thoughts into reality.” No matter what my answer would be, I received the same response: “Huh.”

Or it may have been, “Huh?”

I find it difficult to explain to folks of all walks of life that they are in control of their life; that they attract their circumstances and create their own reality. Most people do not want to take responsibility for their own life. Some of my patients do not want to take responsibility for their own health. “It’s in my genes,” they like to argue. “It’s the Holidays, you know. It’s Thanksgiving—you can’t stop eating.”

They would rather leave it to government to decide, or to their parents, or do what they do to please their psychotherapist. Or please their Rabbi or spouse.

It is difficult for folks to accept the premise that we are responsible for attracting our circumstances, and we co-create our reality.

Didn’t you attract your spouse? Or did the priest or rabbi attract your bride to you?

Yes, I know in certain parts of the globe parents still arrange a suitable marriage partner for their children…

The point of this book is that we are co-creators of our life circumstances and the great news is that we can, by and large, control those circumstances and our immediate reality.

In the last one hundred and fifty years, a movement consisting of thinkers, teachers and authors emerged, to describe a phenomenon called the Law of Attraction (LOA). A book titled Thoughts Are Things was published in 1889.¹

On the same vein, Walter Wintle² published a poem titled Think, circa the same period.

The author, Robert Collier, published a more extensive work titled The Secret of the Ages.³ He outlined seven “secrets” of the LOA. He also used the term Law of Abundance.⁴

Modern authors who dealt with the Law of Attraction described it as a rediscovered development in human thought and behavior. Today there are countless legends in the formats of reports, books, and documentary movies, written, produced and published; as well as live classes and webinars, explaining the LOA phenomenon. The LOA in practice advises people to choose their thoughts carefully because built-in dynamic forces of thought in the human mind stir, drive and compel the thinking person towards manifesting their thoughts into reality. Some authors described the LOA as a modern development, as if they were surprised by its existence. Still others referred to it as a secret waiting to be revealed by them to the world. Post-modern authors try to leave the impression that the LOA is somehow a recent discovery, or an innovation impressively associated with the science called “quantum physics.” The LOA preceded the field of quantum physics by millennia.

The Holy Bible tells stories with life lessons drawn from these tales. If you accept the notion that the Bible is a repository of the collective wisdom of the ages, then the Law of Attraction is available to the reader of the Bible.

The Bible—consists of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and the New Testament. The Old Testament is a Christian term denoting the Hebrew Bible that is the holy scripture of the Jewish faith. It is an inspired anthology of writings by many authors over two millennia. The first writings began probably two thousand and eight hundred years ago. During the last twenty-three centuries, individuals, scribes, translators, scholars, theologians and committees of editors did their inspired best to right-write, edit, translate and re-translate the Holy Scriptures, as we know them today. For me the Bible is a great repository of the best of the collective human experience and wisdom.

Now think about it—if the LOA is as powerful and as compelling as its various proponents and teachers claim it to be, then it had to be present in the stories and life-lessons canonized in the Bible. Indeed, we find a wealth of evidence for the presence of the Law of Attraction in the Bible.

“New age” and “new thought” terms such as “energy” or “vibrations” are not mentioned in the Bible.

However, the actual mindset and effects of the LOA on human endeavors are vividly described there. If anything, it is the information age that drew attention to and publicized the Law of Attraction that was laying there before the Bible was written and canonized.

Consider that:

For the Law of Attraction to be described in the Bible—Its existence must have preceded the authors and editors of the Bible.

Readers and students of the Law of Attraction who want to understand the LOA and who want to witness how the LOA is also grounded in the biblical writings will find ample evidence in this book, illustrating the universal nature of the LOA in the human experience.

Chapter One

WHAT IS THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

As thinkers, we are co-creators of our reality.

The aphorism, thoughts become things, has its early origins in one form or another in the Holy Bible. Both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament tell this same pearl of wisdom by the ancient sages in various nuances. As a man thinketh so is he. (Proverbs 23:7).

KEY CONCEPT:

Thinking people co-create their reality.

HOW DOES THE LAW OF ATTRACTION OPERATE

Let us explain in modern terms how we account for the phenomenon of the LOA.

The essence of the process is that a thought once sparked in a human mind, starts thinking about itself. In due course, that thought spawns collateral thoughts.⁵ We often call them associated thoughts, known commonly as “associations.” Next, the new collateral associated thoughts spread throughout the mind as a ripple around the original thought. The ripples of thoughts expand our consciousness to include the target idea that we wish to manifest in our reality.

The human brain has within its anatomical structures a framework of inter-connected neuronal circuits that is called the Reticular Activating System. This neuronal network is believed to mediate shifts from relaxed awareness (sleepiness) to intensified attentive interest. Blood flow is increased in the areas of the midbrain reticular formation during performance of mental tasks requiring increased alertness. The increase in blood flow is believed to be a marker of increased neuronal activity. The increased blood flow is an indication of heightened cognitive alertness and awareness.

In addition, neuroscientists described in recent years another neuronal system in the brain that is called the brain’s “default mode network.” This “...
